Coke Forge Build

[RobWilson]

Evening Chaps


Thought you maybe interested in a wee project I have just started , I got fed up with sorting out the shop so I decided to stick a few bits of tin together and build a coke forge ,its something I have been meaning to build for years now .

I have a ruff idea of what I want but for the most I am just winging it ,to suit materials at hand . I started by cutting up a bit 3/8 plate to be the bottom
of the hearth .




This done I could work out what I needed to make the stand , this is from recycled materials .



The black gear was an old battery change over stand I ruffly cut up and stuck in my van to get it home , it yielded enough 50 x 50 x 3 box to make the stand .



This was then promptly stuck together .




To form the stand .



Then I cut and welded the side onto the 3/8 plate to form the hearth .



Not as far along as I wanted to be , but its still progress .

Time for a curry and a few beers me thinks
